When will Byrne file a formal complaint against the officiating? It's almost comical the standard we are held to vs our opponents.

Are Hubert Owen's or Penn Wagers still around?

How do you know he hasn’t? Alabama doesn’t typically air dirty laundry in public.

The worst was the “blind side block” against Dallas Turner that negated the Braswell touchdown return. That would have iced the game.

Yeah, the defender was nowhere near the play.

Awful call, but 15 yards behind the damn ball was stupid to even touch him.

Some of these refs enjoy the air time. Probably many family members and friends just watching a game because someone they know will be on TV.

Maybe Dallas "was just too full of Alabama." per Tommy Lewis.

I dont know how the officiating was involved...
They didnt have 10 presnap movements....they didnt commit the stupid blindside hit...
Holding? Both sides....

Sorry...aint buying officiating as reason for performance...

Turner has done some really bone headed things at Alabama. One I remember him grabbing the facemask of an auburn RB for no reason after Alabama stuffed him on 3rd and short.



Then last season against Ole Miss, shoving the Ole Miss QB's head into the ground after the play. Don't know how it didn't get called, but to even put yourself even in that position is so mind boggling.

Bingo! He was in a different time zone.

Had others that mentored him...fromlast 3-4 seasons.
There are so many things nick never put upwith..but...doesnow

That’s irrelevant. I thought it was a crap call, but the distance doesn’t make a difference.

 

[BamaFan334]

I agree, but refs will tell you different. I've been told countless times "coach, I'm not calling that this far away from the ball, but if he came this way with the ball I'd have called it".

 

[alabamajack]

On the bright side, at least it wasn't another pre snap penalty

As someone who has a friend, and this friend's father is an SEC official for 20+ years, I assure you: it DOES, in fact, make a difference.

That is, unless, it's some egregious personal foul like unnecessary roughness or whatever.

what was his thought on that call.

 

[#80]

It's just undisciplined and low IQ.

Exactly. He should have been celebrating the TD.

 

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

what was his thought on that call.

The guy was 10-15 yards behind the play and was irrelevant.
